Herb-Crusted Leg, Butterflied and Grilled

Serves 10–121 hour active plus marinatingAmbitious / pro

Ingredients

  • 1 bone-in Finnsheep leg, boned and butterflied by your butcher notes (or start with our boneless leg)
  • 1 cup melted ghee
  • 8 garlic cloves
  • 1 cup packed parsley, rosemary, and thyme
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp chili flakes

Method

  1. 1

    Blend the marinade ingredients into a rough paste and coat the butterflied leg. Marinate 4–24 hours.

  2. 2

    Build a two-zone fire: hot coals on one side, none on the other.

  3. 3

    Sear the lamb 4–5 minutes per side over the hot zone, then move to the cool side, cover, and cook to 125°F in the thick sections, 20–30 minutes more.

  4. 4

    Rest 15 minutes. Slice thin against the grain — notice how the uneven thickness gives you rare to medium pieces from one roast, which is exactly why chefs love this cut on the grill.

Serves: 10–12 · Prep time: 30 minutes plus 4–24 hours marinating · Cook time: 35–45 minutes on the grill
